This fan is calling it now: Gunther will beat Ricochet for the Intercontinental Title during their ongoing SmackDown feud. When he does, the big Austrian will need some fresh meat babyfaces to work with. Madcap Moss could keep his roll going by challenging Gunther for the belt.

Yeah, that sucks for Rico, but his reign was never going to be a long one anyway.

Madcap showed enough fire at Hell In A Cell to suggest that he's embracing a much more serious style, and he'd probably love the chance to work a program for the IC strap. Honestly, bring on all the eye-watering chops from Gunther, and make Moss look like even more of a badass in the process.

The beauty of this direction is that Madcap doesn't even need to dethrone the ex-Imperium leader. Simply going toe-to-toe with Gunther in matches that echo the big man's bouts with Ilja Dragunov would be enough.
